Re: First time gardener

Amy,

I live in Southeast Alabama, formerly from Northwest Ohio, and I have used
the Square Foot method of gardening both places.  It works wonderfully.  I
would suggest that you find a copy of the Mel Bartholemew's book "Square Foot
Gardening" to use as a reference manual.  It covers everything, even making
your own soil.

I like the method of placing the board on top of the ground and mixing up
Mel's receipe for soil.  I tried digging up my square, placing the boards in
the ground, and augmenting the soil I took out of the space.   TOO MUCH WORK!
 Gardening is supposed to be fun!  Geesh!!!!

Oh yes, I have a copy of Mel's book if you want to ask any questions or if a
bookstore can't locate the book for you.

Good Luck,
Tina Bernath
